Which test would you use .... In 1974, each acre of the Tahoe basin was assessed to see what condition the soil was in.  23% of acres were of type I, 32% were of type II, 41% were of type III, and 16% were of type IV.  This year the region was assessed again and the number of each type were again determined.

The manager of a high school cafeteria is planning to offer several new types of food for student lunches in the following school year.  She wants to know if each type of food will be equally popular so she can start ordering supplies.  To find out, she selects a random sample of 100 students and asks them, "Which type of food do you prefer: Asian food, Mexican food, pizza, or hamburgers?"  Here are the data in the table provided.  Identify the p-value and decide which of the following is the most appropriate conclusion?

• Because 0.0129 is less than α = 0.05, fail to reject H₀.  There is convincing evidence that the food choices are equally popular.
• Because 0.0129 is less than α = 0.05, reject H₀.  There is convincing evidence that the food choices are not equally popular.
• Because 0.0289 is less than α = 0.05, reject H₀.  There is convincing evidence that the food choices are not equally popular.
• Because 0.0289 is less than α = 0.05, fail to reject H₀.  There is not convincing evidence that the food choices are equally popular.
